After years of suffering and starvation, Imogen Brennan realised anorexia would claim her life if she didn't get help. Here, she shares her story in the hope of changing misconceptions about eating disorders.
- Intuitive eating is inversely associated with body weight status in the general population.
Thanks to The Nutrition Guru & The Chef.
"A recent study has shown that those who intuitively eat (listen to their hunger and fullness signals) and don't have a list of forbidden foods, are less likely to be overweight or obese."

- Carbs, Diet Cults & Broscience: A Look Into Fitness Fallibility
